It is necessary to preserve the privacy of passwords in ADT to avoid offline attacks like brute force attacks, lookup table attacks, etc. In this paper, three password protection schemes, namely Encrypted Image Password (EIP), Dynamic Authentication Data Table (D-ADT), and Extended Encrypted Image Password (EEIP) are proposed for secure authentication. In EIP, the input passwords are first converted to hashed passwords and then transformed into images. Next, these image passwords are encrypted using a novel image password encryption system using chaos functions and confusion-diffusion mechanisms. In D-ADT, the hashed passwords are encrypted using a random key. The major highlight of this scheme is that during every log, the hashed password is encrypted with a new random key while keeping the plain password same as it is. So, during each login of the user, the old encrypted password is replaced with a new encrypted password in the authentication data table. The EEIP scheme combines both approaches. Passwords are converted to images and image passwords are encrypted with the new random key at every login. Performance and security analysis are carried out for the proposed algorithm concerning correlation analysis, differential analysis, entropy analysis, computation time, keyspace, and offline attack analysis.","PeriodicalId":46074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Security","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79432754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stavrou","doi":"10.3233/jcs-220001","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3233/jcs-220001","url":null,"abstract":"Online reviews, which play a key role in the ecosystem of nowadays business, have been the primary source of consumer opinions. Due to their importance, professional review writing services are employed for paid reviews and even being exploited to conduct opinion spam. Posting deceptive reviews could mislead customers, yield significant benefits or losses to service vendors, and erode confidence in the entire online purchasing ecosystem. In this paper, we ferret out deceptive reviews originated from professional review writing services. We do so even when reviewers leverage a number of pseudonymous identities to avoid the detection. To unveil the pseudonymous identities associated with deceptive reviewers, we leverage the multiview clustering method. This enables us to characterize the writing style of reviewers (deceptive vs normal) and cluster the reviewers based on their writing style. Furthermore, we explore different neural network models to model the writing style of deceptive reviews. We select the best performing neural network to generate the representation of reviews. We validate the effectiveness of the multiview clustering framework using real-world Amazon review data under different experimental scenarios. Our results show that our approach outperforms previous research. We further demonstrate its superiority through a large-scale case study based on publicly available Amazon datasets.","PeriodicalId":46074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Security","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77597931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Muketha","doi":"10.3233/jcs-220031","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3233/jcs-220031","url":null,"abstract":"Increasing interest and advancement of internet and communication technologies have made network security rise as a vibrant research domain. Network intrusion detection systems (NIDSs) have developed as indispensable defense mechanisms in cybersecurity that are employed in discovery and prevention of malicious network activities. In the recent years, researchers have proposed deep learning approaches in the development of NIDSs owing to their ability to extract better representations from large corpus of data. In the literature, convolutional neural network architecture is extensively used for spatial feature learning, while the long short term memory networks are employed to learn temporal features. In this paper, a novel hybrid method that learn the discriminative spatial and temporal features from the network flow is proposed for detecting network intrusions. A two dimensional convolution neural network is proposed to intelligently extract the spatial characteristics whereas a bi-directional long short term memory is used to extract temporal features of network traffic data samples consequently, forming a deep hybrid neural network architecture for identification and classification of network intrusion samples. Extensive experimental evaluations were performed on two well-known benchmarks datasets: CIC-IDS 2017 and the NSL-KDD datasets. The proposed network model demonstrated state-of-the-art performance with experimental results showing that the accuracy and precision scores of the intrusion detection model are significantly better than those of other existing models. These results depicts the applicability of the proposed model in the spatial-temporal feature learning in network intrusion detection systems.","PeriodicalId":46074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Security","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81408505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"User Privacy Concerns in Commercial Smart Buildings1","authors":"Scott Harper, M. Mehrnezhad, John C. Mace","doi":"10.3233/jcs-210035","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3233/jcs-210035","url":null,"abstract":"Smart buildings are socio-technical systems that bring together building systems, IoT technology and occupants. A multitude of embedded sensors continually collect and share building data on a large scale which is used to understand and streamline daily operations. Much of this data is highly influenced by the presence of building occupants and could be used to monitor and track their location and activities. The combination of open accessibility to smart building data and the rapid development and enforcement of data protection legislation such as the GDPR and CCPA make the privacy of smart building occupants a concern. Until now, little if any research exists on occupant privacy in work-based or commercial smart buildings. This paper addresses this gap by conducting two user studies ( N = 81 and N = 40) on privacy concerns and preferences about smart buildings. The first study explores the perception of the occupants of a state-of-the-art commercial smart building, and the latter reflects on the concerns and preferences of a more general user group who do not use this building. Our results show that the majority of the participants are not familiar with the types of data being collected, that it is subtly related to them (only 19.75% of smart building residents (occupants) and 7.5% non-residents), nor the privacy risks associated with it. After being informed more about smart buildings and the data they collect, over half of our participants said that they would be concerned with how occupancy data is used. These findings show that despite the more public environment, there are similar levels of privacy concerns for some sensors to those living in smart homes. The participants called for more transparency in the data collection process and beyond, which means that better policies and regulations should be in place for smart building data.","PeriodicalId":46074,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computer Security","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72766267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
